My users login to NW5 server. whenever their password expires, they get the change password dialog box. right after a success password changing they get the NT change password dialog box which makes them hating me... how can i make this process trunparent to them (make them only see the NW dialog box)? thanks!

Considered ZENworks? It has a policy called Dynamic Local User (DLU). In short, this allows John to log in as John on Novell, and then locally John is created on the NT box (if he doesn't exist already), and he is automatically member of the groups you define for him. Today a Power User, tomorrow an Administrator.
The nice bit is that the local user John is updated every time the Novell user John changes. Including the password. People using DLU are not even aware they log in twice.
Even more, the information in the Advanced|NT/2000 tab of the Novell client is completely ignored, so no matter to which machine they go, they always have their own login. Once.

Are you using the Gateway Service for Netware. This will do password synch. Also a product called NetVision that will do this.

Gateway Service for Netware overloads the NW server. I want my users to have a direct access to NT servers

Have them say "No" to this prompt and log into the network. Then use Ctl-Alt-Del to change them both at once. Or if you have it, the Passwords utility in the control panel.
